What would I do without TV

I’ve seen a few blog posts on the net about giving up TV. I’ve always considered most TV shows kinda like reading a book, except you don’t have to use your brain all that much to enjoy TV. Now, I guess there’s something to be said for mindless entertainment, but I have to wonder if it I could spend my time better and still derive some satisfaction from my leisure time. So, sticking with that idea I decided to make a list of things I would do if I I wasn’t watching TV:

  • Read a Book
  • Learn a new Language
  • Walk/jog/run/bike/exercise
  • Write Blog/Poetry/Short Stories/Novel/Journal/Etc
  • Work on a programming side project
  • Relax/Meditate
  • Clean up my living space
  • Learn to Uni-cycle and various other pointless skills to impress the ladies
  • Hang out with friends
  • Reflect on the day (could be considered meditation)
  • Play music, listen to music, learn a new instrument
  • Cook

I made that in about 5 minutes. I’m sure there’s more I could do with my time that I would enjoy. Anyone have suggestions, or their own additions?
